    Hi Everyone, I ordered some N scale track off ebay yesterday (I have an N scale train I picked up from a garage sale years ago) just so I can run a train & practice my soldering until I get the room cleaned out for my HO. I can't wait till it gets here. 60103 - grits are good with any meal...

    Dennis - a Rot/Lab mix, sounds really cool - we had a Rot/shaggy something mix & he was the best dog we ever had, he had a great disposition & was so good with the kids (let them do whatever they wanted to him), I still miss him.

    Spur Question

    I will be using blocks & two controllers for my track so two trains can run. The track plan I have does not isolate any of the spurs from the main line. Should I isolate them or is there a reason I should not isolate them? Thank you

So thank you northerners for making...
